	Has anyone else noticed that the large swap file created by Windows
3.0 installation is a (large) fraction of the contiguous free space on drive
C, but that it can be changed? I created a contiguous file on another drive,
named it the same as the original hidden swap file and deleted the original.
Windows continued to work. That also means one can create a swap file of
any desired size by manual means (programming, copy with concatenation,
subtrafuge with Norton's Utilities on an old unneeded file, etc).
